Sogol Family with Young Children January 9, 2024
Positives: Location is central and walking distance to everything. The bikes were great. The golf cart ride was perfect. It was clean
Negatives: The pool and hit tub had a sewer smell surrounding the building. So we were not able to use it. The train station woke us up at 6 am everyday. The room designs had quite a lot of patterns and it was overwhelmingwhich wasnt relaxing (thats just me). The goat tree restaurant had amazing food but horrible service. At least 3 people short staffed. It was much better with in room dining. Please add soup to the menu in December sick season.
Review
For a better price i would stay here maybe away from the train station if that is an option.

Zapata Traveling as Couple September 27, 2023
Positives: The outside areas and the common areas were very nice. We liked that it was walking distance to a lot of fun restaurants. We loved the interior design.
Negatives: Our original room was infested with roaches. I found this out at around 4am the morning of my wedding. I called and because there was a wedding the day before they couldn't switch us into a different room. They said they wouldn't know if they could until 12pm. I spent my entire morning worrying about what to do. They let us use the room across the hall which was smaller than our original room and asked me to stuff 3 bridesmaids, myself and our makeup artist into this small room. I had to force them to allow to use both rooms. When we finally got the larger room the key reader didn't work. Nothing was reimbursed for ruining my wedding morning. However, they comped a bottle of champagne and after begging they let us stay an extra night. This was very unprofessional and I would have hoped for a lot of apologies but received none.
Review
I will be reporting the health department.
